In fairness, Vienna is getting less affordable. But even with some things now more expensive than what I found in the UK (groceries namely), quality of life is still hugely better because of access to good housing and amazing public transport. And just general attention to community facilities.

This is bonkers. I moved to Vienna from the UK in January to a district that is entirely new-build. Within a 5 minute walk of my front door there are 4 supermarkets, a chemist, a doctor, 6 playgrounds, a park, a tram stop and at least 3 schools. Why is it so outlandish to expect the same in Britain?

The tag on the link seems wrong. It’s online, and in person, and just me.

Hello Kasaragod, aren’t you beautiful? A little awkward, but very beautiful.

I’m a long-time radio 3 listener, but mainly because it insulates me from the news. Which I get from France 24. The difference in tone, debate and detail is stark.

Things you find while packing. It’s an awkwardly sized certificate, so it had lain upsidedown in a drawer for a while. I’d just forgotten which one.

Lucy May Constantini @lucymayconstantini.bsky.social · Dec 25

I have sumac! I’m about to give it away with packing. If only you were a bit closer…

December roses for all of us flowering in adversity. The bud somehow survived Storm Darragh.
